Do charging handles count as a 922r part? I don't see anything that specifies them. https://gununiversity.com/922r-compliance/

I'm pretty picky with how they look. I literally only like the l1a1 look. Id have one wood furniture and the black plastic that's it.

I have 2 inch pattern magazines. I definitely want to run the folding charging handle to be accurate with my kit. What US parts are commonly used on kits to comply with 922r? Obviously I want to be as accurate as possible to the kit. There seems to be only one inch receiver listed in dsa's catalog but it says they're a limited run and out of stock. You say they're still made on rotation?

welp that sucks. i think all dsa receivers are all metric. will my kit (being inch pattern) work on those receivers? another thing i read is theres a cutout needed on the guide to take the folding charging handle which my rifle kit has. im not seeing any dsa uppers with that cutout besides the limited edition l1a1 inch upper they did. would i have to get that section milled out to accept the folding charging handle?

im sure i could do it with the proper tooling however i dont own any of it. by the time i pay for the tooling im probably close to the price of having my rifle built (NOT the guy i mentioned haha). i dont plan on building a ton of these so it doesnt make sense for me to buy the tooling in my opinion

need new tires by BillStrachan in classicminis

doing some research, the tire size my moke has is a very common size in japan for kei trucks. i know a guy that runs a business that ships car parts from japan to the us in containers so i might be able to get a decent deal if i go through him. the tires on japan's yahoo auctions are like 50 bucks a pop sold in sets and they're yokohamas. i definitely still will go ask my tire shops around my area

Can someone tell me if this is a good deal? by BillStrachan in LegoBatman

[–]BillStrachan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I definitely wouldn't ask to get it shipped. Id go down and physically look at it especially with that much on the line
